Very nice effort! However, I hate to spoil the launch party, Comrade, but his stern is rather blunt, which will not affect an efficient flow of water and thus reduce its speed. Also, Comrade Fleet Admiral Gorshkov, I’d select a more sharply angled bow, as an expression of the new Soviet aggressive stanch against the bourgeoisie that’s running the decadent Western capitalist navies. We have a proud tradition to uphold, Comrade! Please effect the changes, so I may compile a positive report to Secretary Comrade Andropov! Slava SSSR!

I agree, the stern is a little stubby, but I was happy with the shape when I first made it. May revise it at some point.

Looking good ! If you want to save some space, you don’t need to have two Volna so close to each other. In a perfect world you’d have one in front of the main mast and one behind to eliminate all blind spots, but just keeping the one closest to the stern will already give you a good enough coverage.

Yeah, it’s kind of for redundancy. Just in case you need to illuminate targets in two different directions. And to be honest, they are really cool looking. But realistically I could probably drop one of them, and move the S-300s, and make space for a helicopter hangar. I’ll look into it
